[Poll] Have you cleared vMA?

✭✭✭✭✭
I've seen a lot of threads about difficulty recently and I'm genuinely curious as to how much of the player base is struggling with end game content.
I consider myself a pretty average player and can clear vMA pretty easily. Feel free to chime in CP levels and what you struggle with the most.

CaiWenji✭✭✭✭I cleared it only once. It was not hard after I found out you are not supposed to bash the Argonian Behemoth. But only tried once. So not sure if I will be consistent.0 -

✭I really struggled to clear vMA once or twiceI have cleared it twice now on sorc and Templar.
I struggled on 5, 7 and 9 as this is new to me. Of course it will be better the more I do it.0 -

Once you can get by it once, it gets easier with each consecutive run.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I can clear vMA consistentlyThe first clear was incredibly hard. I quit trying many times over several months. The second clear was tough, but much easier.
Now I don’t get leaderboard scores but can finish it easily In the evening after work. I quit running it after dozens of clears without a single destro staff, and won’t go back there until there is a double drop event.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche4 -

For me vMA is something I do when I'm bored or need more pieces of the Elemental Succession set. I also test a few solo builds there since it's varied enough.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK2 -

✭✭I can clear vMA consistentlyI struggle with the lag sometimes, but I'm definitely not shooting for flawless with the game's instability. I crash midway through on most runs.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I can clear vMA consistentlyI've beaten vMA for the first time back in 2016 on my former MagBlade main, in the same weekend that I beat vDSA for the first time as well
Ever since then, I've been running it once a week trying to get an Inferno Staff. Managed to get Flawless on that MagBlade too, as well as on my new MagDen main and my MagPlar

✭✭I can clear vMA consistentlyI have several flawless characters now but to reminisce a bit...300 CPish when I first cleared and I remember stage 5 gave me the biggest headache as well as Voriak final phase like most during my inaugural run (lol, my timing was *** poor back then ). 1 -

XxCaLxX✭✭✭✭✭I can clear vMA consistentlyI've cleared it on every class. Cleared on multiple account. Cleared at cp165 and have flawless at cp200. VMA is hard first few times but it's about mechs and spawn points. That's what ppl need to learn before taking it to the forums.1 -
Kaartinen✭✭✭I can clear vMA consistentlyWhen I went for flawless I was very consistent. Right now I would likely need some runs to know spawns and mechanics.
However, now I can just farm regular for my missing weapons, with little dps loss. I guess it no longer matters.0 -

✭✭✭I can clear vMA consistentlyCleared it once and got the weapon i wanted luckily enough.
Found stages 5 and 9 to be a bit of a struggle though
That's funny. I used to think those were the most difficult rounds early on. Now its 7 because of the RNG with those darn flowers and the mages on the final stage, followed closely by 6 when the glitch on the obelisks occasionally kicks in1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I have never seriously tried to clear vMAI haven't gotten around to it, but I'm planning to try at some point. But I'll probably only finish it once then carry on with other things.
Especially since I assume I'd have to use champion points, which I don't normally do so I'd have to apply them all, then pay to remove them afterwards. I'm not keen on doing that too often.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

I cleared it on a stamblade and magsorc on 810 CP.
Round 9 is the hardest for me.

Ok, I'm genuinely curious what it is you do in game that keeps you so busy but doesn't require CP and leaves you worried about the 3K cost of champion point respecs? Battleground 24/7?
As for myself I started it when it first came out, got part way through but then realized none of the weapons were going to be any good for my MagTemp in PvP so I lost interest and didn't finish it until a couple of years later just so I could say I had.
I'd say anyone that can finish it once could easily become someone who can clear it consistently as once you have a capable build it's just a matter of becoming familiar with the mechanics.Edited by itscompton on 24 November 2020 21:032 -

As I said above I've cleared it multiple times going in as soon as I get an alt account to cp160. I am well experienced in it though and doubt a brand new player could complete going in at cp160 though they could progress but you don't need to be a certain cp to complete it.0 -
